Well my friends I’m starting the New Year with a lighter version of my original fish cakes you will love these! I’m wishing you all a Happy New Year and good health and happiness in 2014!

1 pound cooked white fish shredded any will do (I used grouper)
¾ cup panko style bread crumbs
¼ yellow onions finely chopped
¼ cup yellow bell pepper finely chopped
2 tablespoons cilantro finely chopped
1 teaspoon old bay seasoning
¼ teaspoon crack black pepper
3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons light virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
In a large bowl, combine the cooked fish, bread crumbs, onions, bell pepper, cilantro old bay seasoning, crack black pepper and mayonnaise. Mix until will incorporated. Form into 8 small cakes. Cover cakes with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
Place the flour on a sheet of wax paper and lightly coat the cakes with flour.
In a large non-stick skillet, melt butter with olive oil. Cook fish cakes until golden brown and crispy 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
